Brinsworth Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences emerged as the dominant category in Brinsworth’s November 2024 crime profile, accounting for 21.4% of all reported crimes. This was closely followed by anti-social behaviour, which contributed another 21.4%, underscoring the persistent challenges of public order in the built-up area. The area’s overall crime rate of 4.8 per 1,000 residents—36.8% below the UK average—reflects a generally safer environment compared to national trends, though specific categories like vehicle crime and weapon possession deviate significantly. The seasonal context of November, marked by Bonfire Night and Black Friday, may have influenced patterns: for instance, the sharp decline in shoplifting (-66.7%) could be linked to early holiday shopping or heightened local enforcement around key retail areas. Conversely, the rise in weapon possession, while small in absolute terms, raises questions about localized factors such as increased youth activity or unmet policing demands. Brinsworth’s lower crime rate relative to the UK may also be attributed to its compact, community-focused structure, where social cohesion and localized policing efforts could play a role in mitigating certain types of crime. However, the elevated vehicle crime rate—82% above the UK average—suggests vulnerabilities tied to the area’s infrastructure, such as high volumes of parked vehicles in residential zones or gaps in surveillance. These findings highlight a mixed picture, where overall safety is strong but specific risks remain concentrated in particular domains.

November 2024 saw significant shifts in Brinsworth’s crime profile, with three categories rising sharply: other theft, possession of weapons, and robbery, each doubling from zero to two or one incidents. This contrasts with notable decreases in shoplifting (-66.7%), criminal damage and arson (-66.7%), and anti-social behaviour (-52.6%). The rise in weapon possession, though limited to two incidents, is 233% above the UK average for this category, highlighting an anomaly warranting closer attention. Meanwhile, vehicle crime remained elevated at 0.8 per 1,000 residents—82% above the UK average—likely reflecting the area’s reliance on car transport and potential vulnerabilities in vehicle security. The drop in anti-social behaviour, despite the area’s built-up nature, may indicate the effectiveness of local initiatives targeting public disorder, though this remains speculative without further data.

Brinsworth’s November 2024 crime rate of 4.8 per 1,000 residents marks a 27.5% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 6.6 per 1,000. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in similar built-up areas during late autumn, where reduced public activity and colder weather may temper certain types of crime. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day in November, a figure that translates to a monthly exposure of one reported crime for every 209 residents. This rate is lower than the UK average, reflecting Brinsworth’s relatively stable crime environment compared to the national context. When scaled to the local population of 8,758, the monthly figure underscores that the majority of residents are unlikely to experience a crime directly, though the presence of specific categories like vehicle crime and anti-social behaviour remains a focal point for local policing priorities.
